The phone call was made.
Lin Xi never picked up.
Chen Xiao wondered if she was busy or if the mountain signal wasn't good.
He finally sent a text message and then focused on driving.
Upon returning to Dongzhou, Chen Xiao took Zhang Xiaohu to the supermarket, bought a big bag of snacks, and then sent him home.
Mi Qin came to open the door, holding a knitted wool slipper in her hand.
Zhang Xiaohu happily called out "Mom!" and then ran to his room with the bag of snacks.
Seeing this, Mi Qin quickly said, "Xiaohu, Uncle bought this for you?"
"Yes, Uncle is so nice, Xiaohu feels so lucky. He took me to the snack area, gave me a minute, and said however much I grabbed, he'd buy it all!"
Listening to her son, Mi Qin had a wry smile:
"Thank you, Chen Xiao. I see the bag is full of expensive ones."
"It's okay. I did limit the time. The kids appreciate the fun more, so he'll treasure those snacks more."
